“Ndasanduka chinthu choseketsa kwa abwenzi anga, ngakhale ndinkapemphera kwa Mulungu ndipo Iye ankandiyankha. Ine ndasanduka chinthu chongoseketsa, ngakhale ndili wolungama ndi wosalakwa!
5 Uyisibane esidelelekayo emnakanweni wowonwabileyo; ulungele ukutshelela ngonyawo.
Anthu amene ali pabwino amanyoza anzawo amene ali pa tsoka. Tsokalo limagwa pa amene wayamba kale kugwa.

10 Okusesandleni sakhe umphefumulo wakho konke okuphilayo, lomoya wayo yonke inyama yomuntu.

13 Kuye kukhona inhlakanipho lamandla, uleseluleko lokuqedisisa.
“Kwa Mulungu ndiye kuli nzeru ndi mphamvu; uphungu ndi kumvetsa zinthu ndi zake.
14 Khangela, udiliza, kungabe kusakhiwa; uvalela umuntu, kungabe kusavulwa.
Chimene Iye wapasula palibe angachimangenso. Akatsekera munthu mʼndende palibe angamutulutse.
15 Khangela, uvimbela amanzi, atshe; abesewathuma, agenqule umhlaba.
Iyeyo akamanga mvula dziko limawuma; akamasula mvulayo, madzi amasefukira pa dziko.
16 Kuye kukhona amandla lenhlakanipho; okhohlisiweyo lomkhohlisi bangabakhe.
Kwa Iye kuli mphamvu ndi kupambana; munthu wopusitsidwa ndiponso wopusitsa onse ali mu ulamuliro wake.
17 Ukhupha abeluleki bahambe behlutshulwe, enze abehluleli babe yizithutha.

20 Uphambula inkulumo yabathembekileyo, asuse ukuqedisisa kwabasebekhulile.
Iye amakhalitsa chete aphungu odalirika ndipo amalanda chidziwitso cha anthu akuluakulu.
21 Uthela ukudelela phezu kweziphathamandla, axegise umbhinco wabalamandla.
Iye amanyoza anthu otchuka ndipo anthu anyonga amawatha mphamvu.
22 Wembula izinto ezijulileyo ezisemnyameni, akhuphele ekukhanyeni ithunzi lokufa.
Iye amatulutsira poyera zinthu zozama za mu mdima ndipo mdima wandiweyaniwo amawusandutsa kuwala.
23 Enze izizwe zibe zinkulu, abesezichitha; andise izizwe, abesezisusa.
Iye amakuza mitundu ya anthu ndipo amayiwononganso; amachulukitsa mitundu ya anthu ndipo amayimwazanso.
24 Ususa inhliziyo yenhloko zabantu bomhlaba, aziduhise enkangala engelandlela.
Iye amalanda nzeru za atsogoleri a dziko lapansi; amawayendetsa mʼthengo mopanda njira.
